Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Certifier

Ask your AI to send a certificate to someone who finished a course, find a recipient's credential, or see who shared their badge on LinkedIn. It can create draft credentials, issue and email them, update or delete them, and manage groups and designs in Certifier.

Questions

What can the AI do in Certifier?

It can list, search and read credentials, groups and designs, and see recipient interactions. It can create draft credentials, issue and email them, do all three in one step, update or delete credentials, and create and update groups.

Does the AI see my Certifier access token?

No. You paste your Certifier access token into PipMCP once. It is encrypted at rest, never shown to the AI and never shown again after you save it, not even to you. The AI only sees the results of the tools you have switched on.

Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?

Yes. You choose which tools are switched on, so you can start read-only. Issuing and sending a credential reach the recipient, and deleting one cannot be undone. Those actions can require your approval before they run. Every tool call is logged.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. In ChatGPT, open Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced, turn on Developer mode and add your PipMCP link. Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise. The same link also works in Claude (Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector), Cursor and other MCP clients.

What does it cost?

PipMCP has a free plan, and you do not need a credit card to start. Paid plans are billed per completed task. You also need your own Certifier account.

What is the difference between creating, issuing and sending?

Creating a credential makes a draft that is not official yet. Issuing makes it official and publicly verifiable, but does not email it. Sending emails an issued credential to the recipient. There is also a tool that does all three in one step.
